Is this IBS or something else?

Ever since I can remember I’ve had episodes where I’ll be totally fine one minute and then my guts suddenly liquefy and I have to run to the loo where I’ll have bad diarrhoea. But it’s usually only just the once. After that I’ll feel a bit queasy for a bit and the next day I’ll be fine. I can never really tell what sets it off or when it’s going to happen. I’ve kept food diaries, tried to cut out certain things, but I can’t pin it on one thing. I feel like too much sugar maybe makes it worse but tbh i don’t really understand why my bowels have always done this. I just feel like my bowel is ‘overactive’. Am I abnormal or do other people get this too?

Have you been to see your GP to rule anything else out?

I get this too. It was hellish for a few years. I’ve been clean eating (no wheat, sugar, alcohol, etc) for a few months and it has cleared up.
